I started doing my field Experience in Lime Kiln Elementary school where I shadowed Mr. Mikalov, a fifth grade teacher, When I first walked into his classroom it was so colorful and full of artworks, student works and inspirational quotes I felt happy walking into his classroom so I would imagine what a fifth grader would feel like. Mr.Mikalov was very generous in showing me around the classroom where they have their group work, reading area on the rug. He showed me the schedule they follow every week, they do math every day from 12:13 to 12:55 and have lunch every day at 11:26- 12:08 and off course I took a picture of it to know when and what they are doing that time. Mr.Mikalov introduced me to the principal who is very nice and welcomed …show more content…
The first day I went there was a student crying and Mr.Mikalov pulled him outside to talk to him in private because some kids don’t like talking about their feelings in front of everybody. While the students were doing their work I had a chance to walk around the classroom, I saw at least five rules in big letters in the back of the room, which reminded me off Hary Wong and his teachings off rules and procedures. After the bell rings and they go to math. The teacher starts the lesson by asking the class what they know about the subject and go from there. The teacher asks the students to turn and talk to the person next to them about what they learned or explain it to someone who doesn’t understand it. In the classroom there’s a list of words the students will learn throughout the year, every night they would get new words and at the end of the week, they would get quizzed on a set of words. The teacher has an annotation chart that has different things that students can do. For example, if the students have a question about their reading they can put question marks next to it and more.This helps the students understand the reading much better and this also helps the teacher know the students need help with. There were many students who wouldn’t listen and would just be laughing, getting up without asking and disrupted the class during the lesson they would lose their recess, However if the students were doing
The dedication the school puts to each individual student is amazing and lets you see how helpful someone can be in someone’s else’s
I feel that in the classroom, Space 100 did not contribute to my MQT (Mission Qualification Training) preparation. Although, there were sections which covered the history of space flight, orbital mechanics, and a very brief description of the launch team positions, much of this information proved to be riddled with inaccuracies in punctuation, grammar, and facts. It became painfully evident that the course was rushed into production and instituted several months prematurely. The simulation lab was one of the best parts of Space 100 in terms of MQT preparation.
I visited two classes in an p-k through fifth grade elementary school. The teachers will be called Miss P for the preschool and Miss H for the first grade. I chose a four year old boy from the preschool class who will be called Pb and a six year old girl from the first grade who will be called Fg. The two were of different ethnic backgrounds with Fg being african american and Pb being white. This paper will include observations, and comparisons about the children, teachers, classroom environment and whether the naeyc code of ethical conduct was followed.
Sometimes, when a kid is misbehaving or upset, and I am clueless, I find myself feeling helpless, and relying on Miss. Giannotti to resolve the situation. I understand that it is a part of her role to demonstrate to me how to take care of a situation and it is her duty as a teacher to fix things as quickly and efficiently as possible, but I wish I could do more to help at those times. A part of this is not knowing how best to get the kids to follow my instructions and directions. However, to make things easier on me, I’d like to think that the students in my class have taking a liking to me and listen to me very well. Fourth, I can’t stand the times where I find myself sitting stationary.
Janet Arlene Stroup, at the age of 79, has quite a few stories about her days in school, and lucky for me, she was happy to share them. Janet attended Evendale Grade School from first grade to eighth grade. Every morning she walked two miles to school with her five younger siblings. At the beginning of the day, someone would ring the bell on top of the school and the children had to begin coming in from playing outside. If they weren’t in their seats by the second bell, they were marked tardy.
In my last week in Wilkinson Middle School I was observing Classroom Procedures .Ms. Culberson is a very fun teacher but she is really strict in every one that enters her classroom knows that .Ms. Culberson might not be in the class whenever the bell rings but her students know to start in the bell ringer. She times her student and they all have to work quickly and quietly. They grade the bell ringer after words she asks for their grade and they have to say it out loud.
Field Experience Reflection 2 I completed my second set of field experience during the summer semester at Athens Elementary School. This field experience included a summer enrichment camp hosted by Athens University at the elementary school. The facilitator of this enrichment program at Athens Elementary was Dr. Hodges. During this camp there were a total of three classrooms.
The teacher helps out with after school detention/seminar (the students can come and get help with projects/homework). After the classes were done, I got a tour of the building from my cooperating teacher. I was introduced to many different teachers and other members of the faculty at the school. Today, was also a quiz day for some of the students, so I was grading papers. I observed that the smartboard was used as a PowerPoint or Google Slides, and I can not wait to see what else the teacher will be using.
My observations was done in Ms. Henriquez third grade class at Morningside Elementary, room 508. I began my observations on October 5, 2015 to November 2, 2015.As I entered the room and took a seat at one of the empty desks, I noticed how organized her room was. Her classroom was small and colorful. She had twenty students in her classroom.
For our Capstone project we served dinner at the Russell and Ann Gerdin Hope Lodge in Iowa City on Tuesday August 4, 2015. We choose the Hope Lodge after discussing previous capstone class projects and our desire, as nurses, to do a project for adults with illnesses. We focused on adults as that is the population we all work with in our day to day careers. With Matt and Heidi working in the Clinical Cancer Center infusion suite the Hope Lodge dinner seemed an appropriate choice. We all pitched in to serve the residents a home cooked meal.
During the last cycle, the children were gathered on the carpet for large group. The teacher encouraged a child to read a book to her classmates. However, the lack of clearly stated behavioral expectations resulted in a chaotic environment as the children climbed over one another to see the book. The teacher next transitioned into an exercise routine in which most of the children became excited and participated; however, about four boys roamed the classroom and remained unengaged in any learning activity, shouting loudly from time to time, distracting their fellow classmates, and with little response from the teacher.
On Thursday October 22, I went with Sarah Pritt to recruit participants for her math-science anxiety research project. Sarah is a graduate student here at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, who is part of Dr. Roehrich’s research group. She hoped to recruit male participants who are planning on teaching math to elementary students. Last time the study was run, the results were significant, representing that math and science anxiety does exist and gender plays a role. However, this time around they hoped to add more men to their population size in order to strengthen the results.
These students find it more comfortable to only work with one another and don’t really talk to anyone else in the class. This group of students like a lot of the teachers attention. They tell many stories about themselves, some of which I feel may be exaggerated for the sake of impressing the class. The African American girl tells a story about finding twenty dollars and fighting with her brother for it. She said in the end her mom took it, and that is not fair because she found it.
The children in this classroom also helped one another, gave each other compliments, and showed empathy towards their friends and teachers. This classroom also offers nurturing and responsive relationships in the
After some long nights working, I began to realize that these students were more unique and therefore needed a much deeper attention regarding potential problem areas and how to act within a classroom. This led me to new methods of controlling the room without the need to yell or discipline as so many have done before
